Remember your rules
(sh.itjust.works)
Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
Well, I am calling it "abusing the post body" because it doesn't federate to all services. Captions (or as Lemmy calls them, alt text) does federate better as it was designed to use a more standard federation data type that Mastodon understands.
So, using the post body for captions actually kinda is harmful in the lens of Mastodon users, and other federated services that don't support Lemmy's post body.
however many Lemmy clients don't support alt text, but do support post bodys
That's true I would make feature request to those clients to add this very important functionality.
